Oxidative stress and repetitive element methylation changes in artisanal gold miners occupationally exposed to mercury
Mercury (Hg) exposure is a public health concern due to its persistence in the environment and its high toxicity. Such toxicity has been associated with the generation of oxidative stress in occupationally exposed subjects, such as artisanal gold miners. In this study, we characterize occupational e...
